Yeah, the bit where the owner is bragging about “beating” other water-park operators really does read like a Trump quote. “You are now being bested by a guy in Kansas. Not even Texas, okay — Kansas is number one.”

No, you’re right - and I’m as sick of him as anybody. But that’s nevertheless what I thought about. More relevant, maybe, is that I think the attitudes these waterpark guys exude throughout this document are allied somehow with the national failings that led to Trump’s election.

All I could think while reading this is: from the incompetence to the unearned self-assurance to the foot-shooting coverups to the threatening lawyers, the Trump gang is just these guys writ large.

Well aren’t you just a precious little edgelord hating on something/someone that’s popular!!!

Those terrible, awful people that want a better, solar-powered, carbon neutral future. Those morons and their stupid desire to have a whole second planet for humans while saving the first by converting to electric vehicles that actually look stylish and are fun to drive!. The are literally the worst. Good riddance I…

The good news is I, like most people, have no idea what the fuck a pop team epic is, so we’ll just spend $850mm watching this movie. SORRY TO RUIN YOUR FUN TWICE.

Oh great. Given what dreary misanthropic slog the first season ultimately proved to be, I can only imagine what ‘ramping up the drama’ means in such a context. Expect the brutality of humans and robots to rise - more murdered children, more violently assaulted women, more exploding melon heads, more heavy-handed…

I got to the bookstore early and bought my copy, then went and got a coffee down the street, read the book for a bit. When I saw a line start to form I went and joined it, and they eventually let us inside and sent us down to the basement where there were rows of folding chairs set up, so we sat. I still thought…

I went to Bruce Campbell’s book signing for If Chins Could Kill, and he told us stories about the movie business. He talked about how elevator pitches were just out of hand when he heard “It’s like Die Hard in an office building.” Uhhh...

Nixon, who is 51, has never held public office before—not that that really matters in a post-Trump world.

So, harassment and prejudice are gone forever? Good to know. Regardless of the law of the land, people can still go out of their way to make you miserable on the job, leaving you out of emails accidentally, giving you partial information, leaving you completely absolutely alone. Neighborhood harassment is gone, so…

Can we call the ashen weasel what he really is? He’s an anti-gay bigot.

Or because Pence’s personal beliefs have more in common with someone who lived in the mid 19th century?

Absolutely Uplifting that there are people like John Oliver in this world. Maybe America heart is still good...

The guy calls his wife “mother.” He’s creepy and weird.

YESYESYESYES THANK YOU NBC.

If you still think “Rick and Morty” is watchable after what four almost five years now?

Uh, the show is being hard-co-opted by the Alt-Right (neonazis) and has more or less outed Harmon as a sort of Alt-Righter himself. Also there was that whole snafu with the former writer pointing out that he is a misogynist, and Harmon halfheartedly admitting and apologizing.

Being associated with fuckwad fans can do a lot of damage to a brand - yes, the show itself is great, but frankly it might just not be worth it from the network’s perspective. If I was in charge I’d be taking my time too, rather than being halfway into production when the alt-right co-opts their imagery or some…
